Coco Rocha for Longchamp Spring 2012 Campaign

Rating:

Coco Rocha stars in the new Longchamp spring 2012 campaign alongside model Liisa Winkler and professional dancer Alexia Level. Fresh, funny and dynamic, the French house's campaign is the perfect expression of the Longchamp spirit.

The latest Longchamp spring 2012 campaign,
starring Canadian models Coco Rocha and Liisa Winkler, is
energetic, fun and fresh. "We really wanted to show this woman very
active in the city, very dynamic," said Sophie Delafontaine, the
house's creative director. Captured by Dane Shitagi in Manhattan
and Dumbo, the campaign follows the girls while running and dancing
in the streets. Both models have dance backgrounds and are joined
in the Longchamp campaign by professional dancer Alexia Level. The
choreography was made by Blanca Li who said that they tried to make
a fresh and original movie.
Coco Rocha wrote on her blog that, "I had so much fun with this
dog, and yes, he was literally pulling me in every direction –
that’s not acting!"

Indeed, the new Longchamp campaign is extremely refreshing and
cheerful. The Longchamp woman becomes playful and is not afraid to
take chances chasing after dogs and hopping over police barricades.
"The Longchamp woman is free, independent and plays with fashion.
An active woman, full of energy, contemporary. Cosmopolitan, she
looks for enjoyment while remaining chic, elegant and fashionable,"
Sophie Delafontaine said.

The brand's spring 2012 handbag
collection features numerous designs from casual and
functional to a timeless, glamorous and elegant style. Longchamp
brings lots of stylish goodies such as a new interpretation of a
modern Amazon, a contemporary embodiment of the legendary warriors,
in an exquisite line of saddlery-inspired bull-calf leather
accessories, but also the famous Légende bags inspired by former
doctor’s bags with their structured form, which is the collection’s
signature. The brand also adopts an exotic theme with a discreet
graphic design for an incredibly on-trend result.

The legendary house branched out from its handbag mainstays and
ventured into ready-to-wear, footwear and other accessories. "The Longchamp brand
is expanding on an international scale, needing to cope with this
continuous movement as it always did with its collections,
collaborations and more recently with its ready-to-wear line. The
choice of the 'creative movement' concept perfectly answers to
Longchamp's identity," said Marie-Sabine Leclercq, head of global
communications at Longchamp.
